so, like, this is the point it was obvious to literally everyone watching the show that Usagi was the princess, right? Like, that hairstyle is super signature ™

THE PRINCESS OF THE IVANOVICH KINGDOMSHE DOESN’T EVEN PUT STRESS ON EITHER OF THE POSSIBLE SYLLABLES(IvAnovich: son of Ivan; IvanOvich: a surname from I don’t remember what language)

Usagi is a beautiful confident baby who gives no fucks and I can finally suppress my anxiety enough to appreciate what she’s doing here ❤(the fact that this is my third rewatch also helps)

NEPHRITE FUCK YOUbut also hey remembered her did you :](i DO NOT ship them but I do ship Nephrite x caring about ppl)

no but I love how precisely he knows what to say to her? all shitennou are experts on the teenage girl condition ™ except possibly Zoicite who is just a glittery pink trash can

damn. Usagi doens’t recognize who that is )=

“I wonder if Usagi will be as beautiful when she grows up?”okay Usagi-dad let’s break this down1) You are seeing her back only, or you would have recognized her face;2) You can see her hair which was changed in precisely no way at all;3) You can see her dress which is in no way indicative of ~her beauty~4) You can see her body type which is either Usagi’s actual future body type or Usagi’s dream body type recreated by the pen aaaand I just made myself sad

but Usagi HOWand how clumsy/drunk must these women themselves have been?

…okay the angle changed slightly and now it seems like Usagi’s dad does see her face but doesn’t recognize it bc moon magic I guess ™

nobody Sailor moon extras are completely unique, and they are for the rest of the ballroom scene, but this is the second time this specific shot shows up with a row of ENTIRELY IDENTICAL COUPLESTHEY AREN’T EVEN ANIMATED IN SYNCHTHEY ARE NOT COPY PASTED THEY ARE HAND DRAWNTHIS IS SO SURREAL

so tell me rose boy how did /you/ get past security

…yeah this is the episode intended to dispel all doubts that Usagi is the princess definitely

…and Naru admits for the first time that she knows she’s in trouble but doesn’t care bc Aesthetic ™this is so unhealthy and wrong and yet my weakness )=(STILL NOT SHIPPING IT THO GROSS GROSS GROSS)

man Usagi looks so much less cute with this lipstick… I guess because otherwise I could assume she had bigger lips?

so uh did you recognize Tuxedo Kamen yet

yeah Usagi=princess definite confirmation here

PRINCESS DIAMOND IS AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE FYI

NEPHRITE WHY DID YOU HAVE TO HAVE HER SAY THAT…it’s probably the random monster he summoned, not he himself, he’s much more smooth ™

so how did LUNA get therealso I love that she doesn’t even give a fuck about being overheard speaking here

I love how direct Nephrite’s plan isjust throw the treasure out of the window. just get to the window and chuck it

holy fuck Tuxedo’s reflexes are on point

LUNA THE BATTLE CATGOOD JOB

REI AND AMI GOOD JOB

also: Rei has a crush on Tuxedo AND is dating Mamoru. The real OTP?

so uhmagic umbrella?good job with the poopspace Luna

HALFWAY THROUGH THE FALLING USAGI’S EYES TURNED INTO HEARTS AS SHE PROCESSED THE SITUATIONI LOVE THIS GIRL

THANK YOU AMI FOR ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS

Tuxedo why are you so unecessarily dramatic

“Usagi, focus!” “Oh, right!”<33333333333333333333

Usagi/Ami is The Pure Ship

awww Usagi-dad got lucky

LIKEWISE, SAILOR MERCURYLIKEWISE, SAILOR MARS

oh hey for once Rei’s exorcism performs the exact job it’s described as being for

…is that literally Nephrite’s projection? his NotSmooth™ side

TSUKI NI KAWATTEOSHIYOKIYO!!!and Usagi zeroes in on who to protect ❤

Luna she clearly has no idea what you’re talking about

SOMEONE TOOK USAGI-DAD’S FILMHOW DARE THEY(it was probably Tuxedo)

but why does the princess have to wear world’s ugliest glasses

also I think Naru should have a good idea of just how much bad news Sanjoin-sama is by now
